It's not so surprising if you think about it. A place like this is an escape from reality. But nobody wants to live in lala land indefinitely. It makes for a good rental, because you can experience it for a while, and then leave, without having to first convince someone else to take gigantic novelty on your hands.

My grandparents have a cabin near there; driving through the property was always exciting as a little kid. There are carved statues of trolls everywhere, some out in the field, others as part of the columns supporting the house. Very surreal.
